​These thoughtful biker bells are a longstanding tradition, that are said to double in potency when given as a gift. The legend goes back to WWII fighter pilots who believed that gremlins would creep into the airplanes, causing malfunctions, crashes and bad luck. When they came back from the war, many of them started riding military surplus bikes as cheap, fun transportation and they brought the tradition to the road. The idea is that pesky Road Gremlins, (those would be the little buggers responsible for loose gravel, mechanical breakdowns and general fuckery) are lured in by the sound and caught in the bell cavity, then driven mad by the constant ringing until they drop off, to create yet another pothole, allowing you to ride on your merry way.

Although according to biker lore the bell is supposed to be hung down low on your motorcycle, you can, in fact, Hang Them anywhere. Rearview mirrors, keychains, Christmas Trees, dog Collars, nipples*, or anything else that tickles your pudding. We don't judge. We also heartily encourage pics for our Show & Shine page.

*Please do NOT hang your bells from your dog's nipples, or anything that may resemble them.
